Abstract

When discussing sustainable cities, we imagine cities that achieve sustainable economic development, that provide the basis for the social development of citizens, and that are harmonized with and care for the environment. In line with progress to make cities sustainable, various national and supranational initiatives are being developed, leading to agreements to cooperate and work together to create and maintain sustainable cities. One also hears of smart cities, eco-cities, and green cities and reports about them and their particularities, but these types of cities are in many ways subsets of sustainable cities given the broader criteria implied by sustainability. In this chapter, sustainable cities and the various aspects that they comprise are described, and some of the most relevant initiatives carried out by governments and municipalities to promote and foster their development are discussed.
